[Emperors of the Fading Suns] [Emperors of the Fading Suns] OOC Thread

Actually very few is known about him in Creation.


He has claimed a number of shadowlands under his banner, but has actually enslaved many monarchs of the hundred kingdoms.


Behind the curtain he's one mean son of a bitch and even though he's not as subtly twisted as Mask, he has made entire cities crumble without even sending a military force to invade (Karroth Vlan for example)... and no one (including the pcs, except from the deathknight) knows about it.


He keeps to himself and behave like a king of his lands.


But he's a deathlord, a powerful undead sorcerer king... and one who has yet to show his true colors and power.


Ever since Mask put on quite a show when he conquered Thorns with Juggernaut, the rest of the world now know they mean business, but some of them (including Walker) haven't showed their cards to this day.
 
Joyous Dove knows the names and locations of the major Dragon King cities, but especially Rathess, since Steel Falcon (and possibly Scarlet Silence too) was born and Exalted there. The pair's tombs are in Rathess as well, like many Eastern Exalts...although Dove has reason to suspect Falcon never made it to his intended final resting place.


She also understands the source of the Dragon Kings' current predicament: because their bodies grow at the speed that animals do, while their minds take as long or longer than humans to reach full maturity and responsibility, most Dragon Kings since the Contagion live, breed and die while still mentally children. Hence the Lord of the Flies-type savagery most of them are trapped in.


Finally, she knows that there are other First Age Dragon Kings in suspended animation, like her mentor Eneg. She doesn't know exactly where, though, other than Eneg's guess that any surviving First Age edifice might be a good place to look.


And her information about Rathess is more than eight hundred years out of date. She's prepared for everything to be wrecked and most of the inhabitants to have gone feral. Obviously, she isn't prepared for the crazy Dawn Caste and his necrophagic god partner, or the vampiric underpeople, or the Fair Folk...
 
Ooookaaay, so the Walker (and perhaps the Mask) wants to use us as a dump for five times our current population in refugees... who might number tens or hundreds of spies... and who come from a Realm-aligned culture that abhors Anathema... and if we don't, they'll promptly join the ranks of the undead...


How am I supposed to tell the old bitch to get the fuck off my office?


Oh, right, there is also the thinly veiled threat of Abyssal psychokillers on the loose... just what I needed...
 
Yep, we're inviting the fox into the hen house, but we can't turn them down either...


Even if there are spies in their midst, I'll spend time investigating possible leaks when / if we come back from Mirunda.


A simple interview with the right investigation / linguistics charms and perhaps elemental/ demonic assistance, and we'll sort them out.


The problem being escorting them to us, and the reasons why a deathknight would actually care about saving 10k souls... I mean that must build up a lot of resonnance and now we all know from Walker how bad this is if your intentions are genuine.
 
Or maybe PR. Remember some of the deathlords are trying to pretend they are not evil. Emphasis on pretend. That and chances are there will be spies.
 
BTW, I am about to start another game on RPOL, I would still like to have players for a Night and an Eclipse (Perfect Circle + 1 Lunar), for a game starting in the Hundred Kingdoms (it's a vanilla game that could become empire-building in the long run).


Are there people interested? I'm aiming for an minimum of 2 posts per week, though I expect people to warn when they have IRL impediments and don't simply drop off without explanations.
 
Well that was fast :shock:


Here's the link: The Lords of the Hundred Kingdoms


I'm still in the process of recovering some lost custom setting documents and prepare some house rules, so it's kinda empty right now...


Also, wait before submitting character concepts - there will be a Circle creation thread, all characters will have met shortly before the beginning (no prelude, you'll start Exalted), and their backgrounds will have to fit certain plot hooks of mine
 
Dealing with class stuff, trying to put something together to post. Expect horrifying flashbacks cued from most of the nasty things we find.
 
Tempting.


Been meaning to try out another Lunar concept. Though not sure how much I want to inflict that experiment on other people.

I had to crunch a lot of ideas about the last NPC that I need to complete your surroundings.


Updating tomorrow, oldest first.

Ugh that's one ugly creepy cat, excellent choice for an abyssal familiar. :twisted:

I love her portrait.


Found randomly, but it is perfect for what I wanted to convey with her.
 
Contempt, dangerosity, and ultimate creepiness ?


Good job then ! :lol:


If the cat starts talking too, don't hesitate Brek... kill it !
 
The cat is actually having a look around Cross.


You know you can share senses with your Familiar...
